Atlantic may spring to life just days after 2025 hurricane season begins

AccuWeather meteorologists are homing in on potential tropical development in the Atlantic during the second week of June in waters from the Caribbean to the Gulf.

AccuWeather’s lead hurricane expert Alex DaSilva was live on the AccuWeather Network on June 2 to discuss the Atlantic hurricane season, which officially began on June 1.

The 2025 Atlantic hurricane season officially began on Sunday, June 1, and it may not take long before the first storm of the season spins up near the United States, AccuWeather meteorologists warn.

Over the next 10 days, moist and dry air will alternate over the Caribbean and as far north as Florida waters in the Gulf and Atlantic. Some of the dry air episodes will be accompanied by dust carried from the Sahara Desert for thousands of miles to the west. The dust may be visible when the sky is clear, and can result in colorful sunrises and sunsets.

A moist zone is forecast to continue as storms move along the Florida and Southeast coasts through midweek. Repeating showers and heavy thunderstorms in this region can bring several inches of rain. In a few cases, a couple of inches of rain may pour down in an hour's time and result in street and highway flooding in cities such as Miami and Fort Lauderdale, Florida.

AccuWeather forecasters are now monitoring an area along the Southeast coast for potential subtropical or tropical development. While the risk of development is low, impacts such as heavy, flooding rain that can disrupt outdoor plans, minor coastal flooding, rip currents and rough surf are all possible mid-to-late week.

Looking farther ahead, AccuWeather meteorologists are also monitoring an area of low pressure that works its way from east to west around the globe.

"This [area] will be moving slowly through the zone from the western Caribbean and eastern Gulf around the same time when a surge of moisture may develop," AccuWeather Tropical Meteorologist Alex Duffus said. "For these reasons and a drop in disruptive winds in the region, we are issuing a chance for tropical development."

"We believe there could be some tropical development over an approximate period sometime from June 8-13," Duffus said.

Should the first tropical depression or tropical storm unfold in the Atlantic during the second week of June, where it tracks will depend on how quickly it ramps up and the steering breezes at the time.

There is a chance a tropical depression or storm wanders into the Gulf or perhaps drifts onshore and slowly unwinds over Central America, southeastern Mexico, or Cuba before the middle of the month.

The first name on the list of 2025 Atlantic tropical storms and hurricanes is Andrea.

Any impacts for Florida, Georgia or the Carolinas is likely to occur June 4-6, while any impacts in Florida from the other pulse of low pressure would likely be from June 11-14.

Should a tropical depression or storm wander into the Gulf, heavy rain and gusty winds could be carried onshore somewhere along the United States mainland toward the middle of the month.

Because of the uptick in squally showers and thunderstorms as early as this weekend and on through the middle of the month from the western Caribbean to the southern Gulf and Florida Straits, boating, fishing and cruise interests should monitor the situation.

Alvin in the eastern Pacific became the first tropical storm of the season for either basin straddling Central and North America last week and has since dissipated.
